Students will get their first look at the wonders of the night sky in this fun astronomy class. A planetarium show features Dudley Duck, who will take us on a journey to the stars.
Our 600-gallon touch tank will be home base for this class. Students will touch string rays, spider crabs, coral and sponges and learn about the marine life that inhabits our oceans.
This class will include an introduction to Scientific Inquiry as children use simple machines to make observations, collect data, and keep pictorial records. Students will use inclined planes, pulleys, levers, and axles and wheels to explore the Law of Gravity through hands-on investigations.
